I had heard so much about primers but never really used one .My makeup routine was cleanse ,tone, moisturise and apply a foundation .But last time when I was searching for a foundation , the SA asked me to use a primer underneath the foundation to get better application and a more uniform (read non patchy) look .

Since Colorbar is one my favourite brands , I got this primer from Colorbar and here is my review of this product .

Price - INR 825/- for 30 ml

PROS of Colorbar Perfect Match Primer

The perfect match name is true but at the same time a misnomer because it is a transparent gel like liquid.So this one will suit all complexions .

Spreads easily ,it is better to moisturise the skin first before applying for a dewy finish .

Creates a matte finish to which the foundation clings well and lasts longer .

Creates an even toned look ,pits and scars are less obvious .

Gives a smooth look and finish , helps in reducing the visibility of fine lines and pores .

Is moisturising and does not make the skin dry .

Little goes a long way .

CONS of Colorbar Perfect Match Primer

A little on the steep side price wise ,but compared to other brands ,this one is quite reasonably priced .

It is just a makeup base and has no other major benefits (no coverage or sun protection etc. ).

The colorbar primer has a thick consistency and is transparent

After the primer, the foundation blends and stays better like second skin

FINAL VERDICT - A primer is definitely a product worth putting your money in .It improves the overall appearance of the skin for makeup.The makeup lasts much longer and blends better after a primer .
I rate it a 4/5 .
